That's very nice.
I never considered my writings gifts, but I guess if even one person enjoys it or even possibly impacts their life, it could be seen as a gift.

Lovely. You are correct, it is a gift we all are lucky to have.
A precious gift to not only help ourselves, but maybe inspire someone else as well.

Thank you for sharing your talent. :)
